Finding

Title

Failure to Follow Procedures During Concrete Placement of Flexible Storage Facility Buildings

Description

The inspectors identified a finding of very low safety significance when licensee personnel failed to follow the applicable procedure and design specification during concrete placement for installation of Diverse and Flexible Coping Strategies (FLEX) Buildings 1 and 2, identified as Flexible Storage Facility Buildings (FSF1 and FSF2). Specifically, the licensee failed to meet the requirements for limiting concrete pour heights and for treatment at cold joints. No violation of regulatory requirements was identified because construction of the FSF Buildings was not covered under 10 CFR 50, Appendix B. The finding was of more than minor safety significance because it was associated with the equipment performance attribute of the Mitigating Systems cornerstone and adversely affected the cornerstone objective of ensuring the availability, reliability, and capability of systems that respond to initiating events to prevent undesirable consequences (i.e., core damage). Specifically, the licensee failed to follow the instructions provided in the design specification and the plant procedure for concrete placement leading to potential degradation of the FSF building walls required for protection of the components needed for implementation of the FLEX in response to NRC Order EA12049, Order Modifying Licenses with Regard to Requirements for Mitigation Strategies for Beyond-Design-Basis External Events. In accordance with the NRC staff guidance for disposition of findings associated with NRC Order EA12049, the finding was presented to a cross-regional panel, which determined the finding to be a licensee performance deficiency of very low safety significance based on a qualitative evaluation of the potential consequences of the issue. The inspectors concluded this finding affected the cross-cutting area of human performance and the cross-cutting aspect of procedure adherence because licensee personnel failed to review and follow the applicable procedures and instructions while performing concrete placement work [IMC 0310, H.8].
